How to Use a Facial Exfoliant

Choose the Right Exfoliator for Your Skin: if you have sensitive skin, opt for enzymatic formulas or gentle exfoliators with PHA. For oily or acne-prone skin, exfoliants containing BHA (salicylic acid) or AHA (glycolic acid) help to clear pores and regulate excess sebum.
Recommended Frequency: for best results exfoliate 1-2 times per week, adjusting according to your skin’s sensitivity.

Oily or acne-prone skin: 2-3 times per week with BHA.
Sensitive or dry skin: once a week with enzymatic exfoliants or PHA.
Normal skin: 1-2 times per week to maintain a healthy, radiant complexion.

If you experience irritation, reduce frequency and boost hydration. Listening to your skin is key.
Prepare Your Skin: use a gentle facial cleanser beforehand to remove makeup, excess oil, and pollutants.
Application:massage the exfoliant onto damp skin using gentle circular motions, avoiding the eye and lip areas. Do not rub aggressively, as this can cause irritation.
Rinsing: wash off with lukewarm water, ensuring no product residue remains on the skin.
Hydrate and Protect Your Skin: exfoliation removes dead skin cells but can also leave the skin more vulnerable. Replenish moisture with a nourishing cream and protect your skin with SPF50, especially if using AHA or BHA, as these ingredients provide deep exfoliation and may increase sun sensitivity.
